reinforce their knowledge byrelating theory to real-world applications. Physical experiments are effective means to deepenstudents’ understanding of the underlying theory. However, access to these elements, especiallyphysical experiments, are not always available due to limitations in equipment, room capacity,scheduling, facility accessibility, laboratory time, and safety considerations. In addition, thelecture and the laboratory section are often ill-connected as they are taught by differentinstructors, making it difficult to keep the quality of teaching consistent among sections and toclosely relate lecture and laboratory materials. Moreover, students often are not given instantfeedback on their performance due to the traditional laboratory

Having access to experts in these areas via a co-teaching methodaffords students multiple perspectives on a particular structure and on civil engineering broadly.And while a field experience can be simulated in the classroom or laboratory, when it comes tocivil engineering and history, there is simply nothing like being

Transform Teaching and Learning: Improved retention as a result of expanding our undergraduate teaching assistance (UTA) programs and institutionalizing a formal UTA training pedagogy. A working knowledge in best practices will enable UTAs to be both effective and engaging in the laboratory and/or classroom. 2. Increase Faculty and Student Interactions: Improved retention as a result of implementing university-wide and discipline-specific (intentional) community building activities that foster STEM students’ sense of identification with STEM departments.PRIMES conceptual framework was designed around three groups that intersect: STEM faculty,STEM undergraduates, and STEM Undergraduate Teaching

Topics will include: the learningcurve and use of Geogebra, how assignments built around interactives encourage student use,and future plans for the use of Geogebra in Statics and Dynamics.Educational Basis of StudyThe use of active learning (across its various forms) has been broadly found to enhance studentlearning [1], however care must be taken to create active learning tools which are well-structuredand delivered. As one example of active learning, the use of physical and virtual interactives (orthe combination thereof) for both in-class teaching and outside of class learning has often beenshown to enhance student learning [2]. Similar to all other learning materials, the way in whichinteractives are used can be as
